Planet Riddles
1. I'm the planet that everyone calls “Red,”
But really my soil is rust-colored instead.
Look up and you may spot me in the sky,
I'm the orange-colored dot, way up high.

2. With over 63 moons, you might say I have a lot.
Look with a telescope to see my big, red spot.
The spot is a wind storm, swirling around.
High in the night sky is where I can be found.

3. I'm blue and green and a little brown.
I'm a small planet with life all around.
They call me the third rock from the sun.
I don't have many moons - just one.

4. No matter how hard you look, you'll never find me,
Unless you have a telescope to help you see.
I was once called a planet, but not any more.
Now I'm just a “Dwarf Planet,” but too important to ignore.

5. Look very close to the sun and you'll spot,
A tiny, cratered planet that's very hot.
I have no moons but I orbit the sun very fast.
Can you guess my name at last?
